i can't even rmb the last time i blogged, this page may have got mould all over.
anyway, i just gotta get this off my chest that's why i'm here.

match against vjc tdy, i should say the probability of winning is 50-50. but then it all came down to the first quarter where we lost 20pts. yes, 20-0. 0.

they got the first ball in and start full-court defense. guess we were too shocked to react to the situation but we should have stayed calm and recall what coach taught us before. well, coach wasn't there yet when they scored 10plus pts on us, but that shouldn't be of any difference, we have only ourselves to blame. subsequent quarters were better, if you minus the first 20pts they scored on us in the first quart, it's 21-25, not too much difference right! well, you could say they may have put their better players on the bench so as not to make us lose too ugly, but still, i thought we did put up a good fight till the end.

no doubt, vj has got good defense skills.
but to me, it isn't our opponent who decides the end, it's ourselves.

this's what i noticed:

• their accuracy ain't good tdy, but we lacked rebounds, allowing them to make multiple shots. and what i wanna say is that rebounding isn't only to the centers, but the forwards too have to get the rebounds cause you can't expect us to jump out to get the ball when it flies so far out, cause they might just cut in. box-out box-out box-out, EVERYONE GOTTA BOX-OUT!
  

• outlet pass, i don't understand why are we still making passes to the center and allowing them to intercept at their own court.

• plus, too many turnovers alr. not that we don't get rebounds, but sometimes it's so wasted when you push the ball out without looking first.
  

• and where's our plays, i think we needa calm down and communicate more.

despite all these, this was one game i felt we really did play. compared to the last 2, we did much better this time. or is it only me feeling this way cause, i know i did put my all into it and no regrets. did slipped a ball outta my hands which was a good chance for underbasket, but well, ms yau came over to console me, "everybody do make mistakes." was quite happy with my defensive rebounds tdy and made 2 underbaskets, but could have done much better on defense.

it's a contradicting feeling, i don't feel that upset compared to the last 2 match but if i'm happy then i must be nuts, cause if you know the draw, it isn't a draw at all. it's just a match. we're now against hci, rjc and sajc in the quarter finals. like!? rjc and hci?! are we just too suay...........

top 4? not impossible but it ain't gonna be easy.
and don't you guys ever despise nybbgt just that we don't get into e top 4 like e volleyball team, table tennis and judo. it really ain't easy for us with no dsa players and stop asking why can't we get e champs or the first few placings. it's possible but pls be fair to us.

wanna know why i am so pissed, it's alright that we didn't get flim on the clip on college day cause i admit we really didn't win any medals for adiv but mr kwek didn't even mention us when he say, "so let wish all the best to the teams who are still on going their competition like the band, choir, co... " WHERE ARE WE!!!!!!

anyway, i just wanna say, it's gonna be the last few matches alr.
give it your all, no regrets when you step out of the court. knowing that you've alr given your best, winning or losing isn't that impt afterall. when you can answer to yourself, i guess that's the most impt. it's the feeling inside, i can't describe. when the time stops, if your opponent wins in the end, just gotta admit that they're really better. because you've alr given all out, you'll lose with pride too.

the sad part is when our days together are numbered, when our season ends.
i wanna say you girls have been the best, i've learnt alot from you all and lets make nybbgt'09 a memorable one, all the way with the final matches ahead, it's not about the results in the end, it's the spirit that we're gonna show them what nybbgt is made of!

i say, "南 what, 南初!"
